If someone can burn a flag I can grab a sign. I'd take my chances and pay a fine if needed. That is not bullying. Mizzou's protests...that was bullying.
When activist Mercutio Southall Jr. was curled up on the ground getting kicked, punched, and choked by Donald Trump supporters at a campaign rally in Birmingham, Alabama, he thought, “I can’t die today. I’ve got # to do. I have little kids. # these people.”
The single father of three, who was raised in the civil rights cradle of Selma, Alabama, told ThinkProgress that he decided to go to Trump’s event with two friends in order to speak out against the frontrunner candidate’s “racist” rhetoric.
Southall said he felt unwelcome as soon as he arrived at the event, when Trump supporters physically recoiled from him and his friends. “There was like a six feet space on either side of us,” he said. “The message was: this was not our town. This was not our place.”
The three tried to get close to the stage so they could have a chance to ask Trump a question. Before the event started, Southall’s friend began livestreaming himself, saying to his camera, “We want to show [Trump] he’s not welcome here.” Upon hearing that, a nearby man knocked the phone out of his hand, prompting Southall to come to his friend’s defense. The three started chanting, “Black lives matter.”

He has millions of supporters, one less won't make or break his campaign.
So did Hitler, the amount of followers you have is not proportionate to how justified or "right" your cause is

It is when you have a false opinion about the next leader of the free world. I find it clever that you used Hitler as an example.
You realize this response in no way refutes what she did right
Hitler at one point was also the next leader of their country

I wonder how many protestors get their signs torn down, talked down to and threatened by "tough guys" at a Bernie sanders rally. could you imagine what events will look like if trump actually wins? is this what you want, America run by a bunch of bully's?

Well, Trump doesn't want to lock people away in camps and execute them.

It worked for obama... He drew in over 60% of voter aged people that didn't have higher than a grade school education. I'm willing to bet that Hillary or Bernie will too. A lot of cornbread and chicken eating country boys at these speeches, you might not wanna go into one talking too tough and trying to put them in their place.
I agree that a lot of voters are stupid. The conservative side of American politics draws the dumbest voters though. They seem to thrive on the stupid rhetoric...I mean they listen to idiots like Rush Limbaugh and they love stupid ideas like Trumps-ban all muslims, even though we don't have a problem with Muslims in the USA. Nor will we ever.
As a Martial Artist who teaches and trains in several disciplines I love stupid corn fed, chicken eating out of shape rednecks. They're fun to beat up. LOL

Trump said he'd like to create a new "deportation force" to round people up and deport them. Where would they put these "illegals" until deported?
What would they do if they refuse to comply?
Camps and killin' it is......

Maybe you have numbers to back up your claims?
Heh, it wouldn't matter if you were a ninja, a golden glove boxer, or an MMA fighter... Without a square mat or caged ring and referee, your skills go out of the window in an undisciplined fight. Trust me, I've seen it firsthand.

Yet.
But history has shown that once you start down the slippery slope of singling out a group, blaming them for all the problems in the world, tagging them, excluding them and generally giving carte blanche tacit approval for societal hate, atrocites happen.
Be they native Indian, black slaves, jews, chinese peasants, Irish Potato farmers, russian political dissidents, opponents to the Khmer Rouge, ethnic cleansing in the former Yugoslavia... it all went the same way.
When people hear and see what this man is doing, and the attitudes he displays I can't blame them for looking warily on and worrying about the future. You may not see it. It may not happen, but the parallels are there.
